Middle Level Resources

Career planning starts earlier than high school or college.  As a matter of fact, the Idaho Legislature passed a law that ALL 8th grade students must have a four-year student learning plan before they enter high school.  In response to that mandate, the Division of Professional-Technical Education developed a number of resources specifically designed for middle level educators and they address current issues in education (e.g., teaming, standards, technology). These tools will enable you to help students explore career options so they can develop realistic and informed student learning plans!
